Morris, Connecticut, United States

Introduction:

Up for sale is my 2007 Mini Cooper S with 113,000 miles. It has a clean CT title (in hand) and has never been in an accident. I purchased the car in February of 2013 from the original owner who had service records dating back to when the car was brand new. I also have all service records from when I took over ownership at 92,000 miles. 

The previous owner had purchased the extended maintenance program which covered all regular maintenance on the car up to 100,000 miles. Every service was done in accordance with the maintenance schedule. 

The car runs strong, has amazing handling and I average 32.4 miles per gallon on mostly back roads. I’m selling it because I purchased a Jeep Wrangler. This is the second Mini Cooper S I have owned, the one prior to this was a 2005 which was also a lot of fun. 

The exterior is in great shape and the interior looks brand new. It comes with the two original keys and also has the hill start assist feature which makes this very easy to drive for a manual transmission.

Please note the following: 

     1.There is a very slight oil drip from around the oil filter housing (1 drop per night) that I have not had fixed yet.  

     2. The car occasionally has the classic Mini Cooper S timing chain rattle during cold starts until the motor idles for a minute and oil circulates. It has been this way since I purchased the car over 20,000 miles ago and has never given me any problems. From what I can find there is no point in replacing it because people report having the cold start rattle come back soon after. 

     3. The tires should be replaced before this coming winter. I have not replaced them because the new owner may have a unique tire preference based on the type of driving they do and where they live. I assume the final sale price will reflect this. 

     4. There is one small acorn dent on the hood and minor rock chips from winter driving


Summary:

This is a great car and I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it across country tomorrow. Anyone is welcome to come inspect and test drive it before bidding. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any additional questions that you may have. 

The Kelly Blue Book value ranges from $8,995 for “excellent" to $7,632 for “fair”. Payment must be made via cash or certified bank check. A $300 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction ending. It is also for sale locally so the auction may be cancelled if it sells. 

I can be reached via email or by calling 860-790-0892. If you are the winning bidder please call me within 24 hours of the auction ending. 

All the best,

Rob

Mini JCW arrives suitably early thanks to Aussie leak [UPDATE]

Wed, Dec 10 2014

UPDATE: Mini has released official photos and details of the new John Cooper Works, which we've added above and below, respectively. Mini is set to reveal its most powerful model yet in the new John Cooper Works hot hatch, but before the Anglo-Saxon automaker has gotten the chance, the first images and details have leaked out, courtesy of CarAdvice.com.au. According to the Australian website, the new JCW packs a 2.0-liter turbo four with 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque – outstripping even the previous John Cooper Works GP hot hatch, which produced 211 hp and 207 lb-ft. That's said to be good for a 0-62 time of 6.1 seconds. Of course there's more to the new JCW than engine output, and the latest Mini hot hatch – previewed in concept form almost a year ago at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show and spied undergoing testing mere weeks ago – also packs an upgraded version of the suspension in the Cooper S, with optional adaptive dampers, Brembo brakes, upgraded rolling stock and an electronic differential. A full aero kit sets it apart visually, keep the greasy bits cool and the nimble little pocket rocket glued to the tarmac, while the cockpit has also appears to have been made over to provide a suitable environment from which to unleash the new JCW's performance potential. With these details and images spreading like wildfire across the interwebs, we'd imagine it's only a matter of time before Mini releases the full monte itself, so watch this space for more. Related Video: The new MINI John Cooper Works. 10.12.2014 - Green light for the latest edition of the top athlete in the small car segment; the new MINI John Cooper Works combines authentic race feeling with the premium characteristics and extended product substance of the latest MINI Generation; distinctive, tradition-steeped, based on a vehicle concept combining MINI and John Cooper Works, with performance qualities which are exceptional within the competitive environment. - Extreme driving fun and exclusive charisma based on technology for engine, suspension and aerodynamics derived directly from motor racing as well as model-specific design features for the exterior and interior; greater differentiation from the MINI 3 door highlights the model's individual character.

Mini considering sports car replacement for Coupe and Roadster?

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

The next-generation Mini lineup could see some big changes, according to a report from Australian site CarSales. Starting with the debut of the third-generation Mini Hardtop at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, we could see a regular string of Minis on the stages of the world. But the bodystyles we see might not be what we've grown used to.
A four-door sedan could eventually arrive, while the polarizing Mini Coupe and Roadster are likely to be replaced by a dedicated sports car with unique sheetmetal and uprated engines. While the rest of the line is switching to three-cylinder, turbocharged engines, the new sports car, which will be available in both soft- and hardtop variants, will use some version of BMW's 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. The Aussie site also claims that the interior treatment could take inspiration from the Mini Vision concept car, while showing off the know-how BMW gained when working carbon fiber into the i3. The new model(s) would likely arrive in late 2015 or early 2016.
According to CarSales, we'll see the three-door Hardtop at the 2013 LA Show, along with a five-door hatch that is different from the Clubman at the 2014 Paris show. The Clubman, meanwhile, will arrive in Geneva in 2015, while the Convertible is slated for later that same year. The current Countryman and Paceman are expected to be around for some time, before being joined by an MPV. Eventually, the larger Minis will share their architecture with the BMW X1.
